One lively discussion concerned juvenile delinquency. Also discussed were paperback books and reading standards. The Squad's first project was taking over the Lost and Found shelf, keeping it in order, and charging 5c for redeemed property. This money is used for purchase of a book or a magazine sub- seription. The biggest project was washing the library shelves and dusting books. Boys wore their jeans and the club hour and after school hour saw much dust blotted up with wet paper towels. Soft drinks were enjoyed by all. 58
